Believe me. I have been searching for months. Trying to find a similar membership program to this *Mundo Mendo* of mine. One that gives you access to posts AND also gives you a big book every year. I am very surprised, but I haven’t been able to find any. Since there are no other examples, I find myself struggling to explain what this is. *A Substack that includes a book? A Newsletter that also comes out on paper? Comics that you can read on screen and on paper?* I feel that these definitions fall short.   
Hopefully the little comic below helps.
